From the Nye County, Nevada Photograph Collection (PH-00221) -- Series VII. Other areas in Nye County -- Subseries VII.E. Hawkins Family (Duckwater, Nevada). An inscription on the back of this photo reads: "Survey camp taken in 1909" Tonopah Tidewater Railroad in Railroad Valley, Nye County. Grandfather Roberts with the hat in his hand on top of the pyramid was Grandma Roberts' husband. Grandma was an Irwin." Martha Roberts Hawkins indicates that this inscription is wrong, that The Tonopah Tidewater Railroad never came to Railroad Valley and the railroad's construction was completed prior to 1909. The man pictured on top waving a hat is Frank Roberts, born in 1886. Photo is believed to be a survey crew for the Tonopah and Tidewater Railroad.

View of the dredge at Manhattan, Nevada, circa 1938. The dredge began at the lower end of the canyon at Jamestown and worked its way up to the vicinity of the power station, the big cement-cast substation building at Manhattan. Water for the dredge was obtained from a pipeline which crossed the Smoky Valley from Peavine Creek. The dredge had a 90-foot bucket line on it and was anchored with two winches to a deadman. The dredge—when dredging was finished at Round Mountain—was disassembled and moved to Battle Mountain, Nevada. The make is believed to be a Yuba dredge. The man in the white shirt is Louis Cirac, long-time Nye County resident and father to Smoky Valley resident Don Cirac. From the Nye County, Nevada Photograph Collection (PH-00221) -- Series VII.
